DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The hydrosilylation reactions can be carried out in most of organic solvent, but it also proceeds in neat condition. The hydrosilylation can occur, but proceeds better in the presence of noble metal catalysts such as platinum and chloroplatinic acid. The most common catalyst is chloroplatinic acid and used as a solution in iso-propanol. Besides platinum and its inorganic complexes, inorganic compounds of palladium, nickel, rhodium, ruthenium, copper, and tin were used in the hydrosilylation, depending upon the nature of the olefins. The organic catalysts other than metallic or inorganic compounds such as triethylamine, triphenylphosphine, or dimethylformamide may also be used. (Lukevites, E. Y.; Voronkov, M. G. "Organic Insertion Reaction of Group IV Elements" Consultants Bureau, New York, 1966)

All the hydrosilylation reaction was carried out under inert atmosphere. To complete the reaction, heating may be carried out for certain period of time and then the products may be fractionally distilled at atmosphere or under vacuum. The products were identified by ¹ H-NMR(300 MHz).

In the present invention, hydrosilylation reactions can be run in standard laboratory glasswares or commercial equipments, under inert atmosphere, with external heating and cooling, stirring, and incremental addition of the starting silanes or olefins.

The allylalkylsilanes is the slowly added to the solution with stirring. Although the reaction is exothermic, it may be necessary to maintain to reflux with continuously carrying out external heating.

The hydrosilylation gave better yields when organodienes were added slowly to a mixture of 2-(X-phenyl)propyl}dichlorosilane and chloroplatinic acid solution in isopropanol to keep excess silanes with respect to dienes.

EXAMPLE 10

Synthesis of α-(Methyldichlorosilyl)-ω-{(2-Phenylpropyl)-Dichlorosilyl}Hexane

In the same apparatus and procedures as EXAMPLE 1, 10 g (0.046 mole) of 3-(phenyl)-1,1-dichloro-1-silabutane and 100 μl of 1% chloroplatinic acid solution in isopropanol were placed and then 9.1 g (0.046 mole) of 1-(methyldichlorosilyl)-5-hexene was added dropwise for 10 min. The solution was reacted for 5 hours at reflux under the dry nitrogen atmosphere.

EXAMPLE 18

Synthesis of Bis[{2-(Ethylphenyl)Propyl}Dichlorosilyl]Hexane

In the same apparatus and procedures as EXAMPLE 1, 37.5 g (0.153 mole) of 3-(ethylphenyl)-1,1-dichloro-1-silabutane and 100 μl of 1% chloroplatinic acid solution in isopropanol were placed and then 5 g (0.061 mole) of 1,5-hexadiene was added dropwise for 5 min. The solution was reacted for 14 hours at reflux under the dry nitrogen atmosphere. Vacuum distillation gave 24.6 g (190°-192° C./0.03 mmHg) of bis[{2-(ethylphenyl)propyl}dichlorosilyl]hexane in 69.8% yield.

EXAMPLE 19

Synthesis of α,ω-Bis{(2-Phenylpropyl)Dichlorosilyl}Diethylbenzene

In the same apparatus and procedures as EXAMPLE 1, 18.5 g (0.084 mole) of 3-(phenyl)-1,1-dichloro-1-silabutane and 90 μl of 1% chloroplatinic acid solution in isopropanol were placed and then 5.0 g (0.038 mole) of divinylbenzene was added dropwise for 10 min. The solution was reacted for 6 hours at room temperature under the dry nitrogen atmosphere. Vacuum distillation gave 15.2 g (186°-188° C./0.03 mmHg) of bis{(2-phenylpropyl)dichlorosilyl}diethylbenzene in 70.4% yield.

The solution was reacted for 16 hours at 60° C. under the dry nitrogen atmosphere. Vacuum distillation gave 11.7 g (172°-174° C./0.03 mmHg) of α-(methyldichlorosilyl)-ω-{(2-phenylpropyl)dichlorosilyl}diethylbenzene in 51.4% yield.

In the same apparatus and procedures as EXAMPLE 1, 14.2 g (0.06 mole) of 3-(methylphenyl)-1,1-dichloro-1-silabutane and 80 μl of 1% chloroplatinic acid solution in isopropanol were placed and then 15 g(0.06 mole) of α-(vinylphenyl)-ω-(dichloromethylsilyl)ethane was added dropwise for 10 min. The solution was reacted for 15 hours at 60° C. under the dry nitrogen atmosphere. Vacuum distillation gave 14.3 g (176°-178° C./0.03 mmHg) of α-(methyldichlorosilyl)-ω-[{2-(methylphenyl)propyl}dichlorosilyl]diethylbenzene in 49.8% yield.

EXAMPLE 22

Synthesis of α-(Methyldichlorosilyl)-ω-[{2-(Ethylphenyl)Propyl}-Dichlorosilyl]Diethylbenzene

In the same apparatus and procedures as XAMPLE 1, 10.1 g (0.041 mole) of 3-(ethylphenyl)-1,1-dichloro-1-silabutane and 80 μl of 1% chloroplatinic acid solution in isopropanol were placed and then 10 g (0.041 mole) of α-(vinylphenyl)-ω-(dichloromethylsilyl)ethane was added dropwise for 10 min. The solution was reacted for 13 hours at 60° C. under the dry nitrogen atmosphere. Vacuum distillation gave 10.7 g (182°-184° C./0.03 mmHg) of α-(methyldichlorosilyl)-ω-[{2-(ethylphenyl)propyl}dichlorosilyl]diethylbenzene in 53.0% yield.
